MUSKEGON, MI -- A weapons charge against Gracine Thompson-Jones of Muskegon has been dropped because of insufficient evidence.

The Muskegon County Prosecutor's Office on Nov. 19 dismissed a felony case charging Thompson-Jones, 52, with firearm possession by a felon.

Thompson-Jones was allegedly involved in a Nov. 4 argument with Douglas Fortner, 62, in Fortner's upstairs apartment in the 900 block of Wood Street in Muskegon.

Muskegon police said Fortner, who was intoxicated, allegedly had an argument with Thompson-Jones over a .38-caliber revolver Fortner allegedly fired inside the home. Fortner allegedly had a blood alcohol level of .22 percent, police said.

Felony and misdemeanor charges still stand against Fortner. He has been bound over for trial in Muskegon County Circuit Court on charges of possession of a firearm by a felon, normally a five-year felony; possession of a firearm while under the influence, a 93-day misdemeanor; and reckless use of a firearm, a 90-day misdemeanor. He's charged as a fourth-time habitual offender, which could boost the potential maximum sentence for the felony to life in prison.
